As a cultural, historical and political geographer, my research interests focus on the ways in which cultures of outer space, science and technology are connected to questions of place, landscape and identity in a variety of local, regional and national contexts. I have explored these ideas through topics such as the moral geographies of light pollution, the ethics of space exploration, and the history of outer space in geography. My research monograph Earth, Cosmos and Culture examines cultures of outer space in Britain, from their science-fictional foundations to the geopolitics of the British space programme and representations of the cosmic sublime in art, folk culture and broadcasting. I have further research interests in literary geographies, critical geopolitics and the geographies of popular culture.
